On the Right Track.

FoRF WoRTH Tex, July This
morning tho members OF the state
central prohibition committee, who
attended the grand rally here yester-
day, held a meeting at the Ellis house
for tho purpose Of considering the
future conduct Of the campaign. IL
was tho opinion OF DR. CARROLL and
the others agreed with him, that it
was useless TO pay so much atten-
ton in future TO tho largo towns, and
tho towns along tho railroads, but
that the campaign should DO pushed
in tho county precincts, meetings
held ut county school.houses and
churches and at every cross-road re-
mote from railroads. 1t is stated
that this idea was adopted by all
members present. and it was deter
mined to inaugurate backwoods
campaign. The speakers who yester
day volunteered their services will be
assigned to duty by the managers at
Waco.

Saved the Baby.

Many young babies have eruptionf
and sore throat, sometimes battling
tho most skillful physician. Ere.
quently children suffer from some in
herited malady, and only the radical
treatment of nm absolute and power
ful blood purifier can effect n cure;
again the ailment may be from con
tagion. At any rate, the safest plan
is TO Mt once eradicate all poison from
the blood, no matter what the cause.
So wisely did Mr.. @. g. Key, one OF
the most cultured men and intelligent
farmers of Alcora county, Miss. He
writes the following pointed tosti-
mony of his experience:
CoRISTH, MISS, Feb. 16, 1887.
Gentlemen:-L 81 November n y
baby, not then year old, had a b. d
breaking out on his hands and body,
accompanied by very sore throat. l
gave him some s. S. S., which L hap.
pened to have. When the family
physician came, and learned what /
was giving the child, he told me to
continue it, az it was the best thing
the baby could take. The doctor
proved wise. for in a short while the
eruption disappeared, and the throat
got completely well.

A PYRE OF NICOTINE.
Disastrous Tobacco Fire at Louisville
Two Acres of Buildings in Ashes.

Disastrous Tobacco Fire at Louisville
Two Acres of Buildings in Ashes.
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 25.-The most
destructive fire that has occurred here
in years broke out in the tobacco quarter
at ! :35 O'Clock this morning The entire
square between Main and Market and
Ninth and Tenth Streets, was the scene
of the confagration and two acres of
buildings with their contents we're lost.
The loss is estimated at fully half mill
ION dollars, and the insurance can
not be obtained for weeks. The
papers of the various firms are in the
safes which are mixed up with the
debris. These will have to be recovered
and the 5000 hogsheads of tobacco de-
stroyed checked up before the accurate
figures are known. The box from which
the alarm was turned in was defective,
and as result the flames were almost
beyond control when the engines ar
rived. The fire was incendiary, it is
thought. 1t broke out in the middle of
the block at the rear end of the Boone
warehouse, on Market Street. There
were no lights or fire of any kind from
which the flames could have started
The flames spread with fearful rapid
ty. The Banner tobacco house and the
Sawyer, Wallace & Co. warehouse, both
fronting on Main Street, soon caught
fire and were quickly enveloped in
flames. The three warehouses men
toned occupied nearly the whole square,
all were closely packed with hogsheads
of tobacco. The Sawyer, Wallace & Co.
house is branch of the big new York
firm. The fremen could do very little
against the great odds. The heat was
intense, and the infammable material
was entirely too far beyond control ALI
that could be done was to save the adj
jacent residences and business blocks.
A vast crowd of people quickly assem-
bled on the scene. The families living
in the square on Market Street were
greatly frightened. They excitedly re-
moved their household effects onto the
payements and into the streets, fearing
total wreck by fire. No lives were lost,
though several narrow escapes were
had. Sawyer, Wallace az Co.'s ware
house was owned by Henry Glover. 1t
was solidly built building with metal
roof, the several departments compris-
ing an immense structure, and was val
ued at $4,000. 1t Is partially insured.
In it were z, 400 hogsheads of tobacco,
worth from $4,000 to $125,00O. The
stock was well insured. The Boone ware
house loss is Sic, 900; partially insured.
The Banner warehouse was owned by
B. H. Parrish & Co., and was valued at
about $1,000. It contained about 500
hogsheads of tobacco valued at 5000.
1t is thought that the litigation which
will be brought about by the fire will be
astounding. Lorillard & Co., and Lig-
gett & Meyer, the large tobacco firms of
New York and st. Louis, bought large
lot of tobacco in this market yesterday
and it is said that they will claim that
the sale was not consummated, basing
their claim upon some technicality.

Human Nature F1ofitabIe Study.
From the School Journal.

From the School Journal
There Is no law so Important in
school government as thelaw of cause
and effect. Every event is linked to
other events that have come up to US
from the eternity past and will con-
tinue on to the eternity to come. A
Horace Mann has said: "T'hey co-exist.
They lie down side by side, layer by
layer, sometimes running parallel,
sometimes a thousand causes con-
vergipg to one event, and again, one
event diveTging Or branching out into
a thousand Others" Now a teachers
work is not to correct effects, but to
study and mold causes. We
have known g poor school be-
come good one through the
skilitul management of causes; there
was no storming, but disorder disap-
peared, bad words were dropped,
rough manners were smoothed, Inn
politeness became politeness; in a
word, the old school was transformed
into g. new one, but there was no noise
about it. Nothing was done that
even a critical visitor would notice,
but rything was done. The teach
er knew how to touch the springs Of
causes. Here was the secret OF her
success. "Where can [ learn this di-
vine art ?" O. thousand teachers ask.
Not in books, but in ourselves. Study
causes and effects. First in your own
experience and then in others. Why
do l dislike this and like that? Why
is that boy mischievous and that girl
needless? Why? Why? Soon you will
know just what to do to make that boy
forget his mischief and that girl her
inattention. There is no more profit
able study than the study o!
human nature-humanity, as 1t
is called. It is more than
mind study; it is human study.
Teachers are beginning to study the
mind; let them enlarge this study and
include all there is in q boy or a girl
We teach whole children-not minds
only. Stomachs affect brains, the
skin affects stomachs and clothing
affects the skin. Here is cause and
effect. Go back a little further and
study street influences, home and
society influences, and it will be found
tnat the teacher is far from being
responsible for all the badness there
is in this world; neither is she to be
credited with all the goodness in it
Schools are doing excellently if they
do little good. Some schools would
do better if they did no harm.

To the growing list of dangerous ar
ticles of food, including cream puffs
and buns, canned salmon is added
1t is probable that, as with other
canned goods, there is salmon and
salmon. The merits of any preserv.
ing process depend in the first place
upon conscience and the carefulness
of the manufacturer, and nearly all
food preserved in cans, and fish es'
peciallv. is liable to undergo change
in the course of time Or when ex.
posed to unusual heat. The small
grocers are very likely to have a
stock of such goods left long time On
their hands or perhaps buy them
when they we're already stale and
therefore cheap. In @ majority Of
asses of food poisoning-as notably
in the case of the chrome-yellow buns
it will be found that very little ex-
ercise of judgment was necessary to
show that the food was not fit to be
eaten

Cost of Cartoons.


Cost of Cartoons.
NEW YORK, June pa meeting was
held in this city yesterday afternoon
which is of direct importance to all
electric light interests. The electric
light industry, SO far as arc lights are
concerned, depends entirely upon car
bons. The market has been supplied by
two firms in Pittsburg, three or four in,
Cleveland and two in st. Louis. These
companies two months ago formed a
combination, and the price Of carbons-
was suddenly and without warning rails
ed from SO and So to $40 and $25. 1t
is known that only one raw material was
good for much In making electric
light carbons. This is the
coke from petroleum and naphtha
manufacturing. Consequently the pc
troleum coke product was seen to be the
key to the situation. The electric light
men now propose to take the entire
petroleum cake product of the Standard
Oil Company and manufacture carbons
for themselves, on the basis of the, old
rates. A committee was appointed to
confer with the Standard Oll Company,
and the company's figure for it's entire
coke product, 10000 tons per year, was
set at S. per ton. The electric light
syndicate considered the offer and will
accept it. This will efectually destroy
the business of the Western companies
